HOW TO 

Tags: Play Dead, Acting, Actors, Performing

Playing dead is not just something you can teach your dog to do. In the acting world actors are often asked to perform a death scene. Playing dead well is essential to creating the effect the director is attempting to acheive.

1.	Check the area around you. Make sure you can safely fall without getting hurt or hurting others.
2.	Begin a death act. This can include clutching your chest, gasping or making pained noises, or anything else you like.
3.	Let your knees buckle. Make sure your knees or thighs hit the ground before your torso.
4.	Let the rest of your body fall limp to the ground.
5.	Lie perfectly still for as long as the death must take effect.
